The Great Age of Voyage of the Elves

Chapter 39
The Cleveland's return voyage did not receive such a grand welcome. After all, they just went out to patrol the route daily, and the rest was all their own drama...

Back at the navy pier, everyone first handed over the captured pirates to the base, and then went straight to the military supply department.

The navy's military salary is usually paid once a month, and the subsidy for going to sea is calculated according to the number of days spent at sea, and it should be settled every time you return to Hong Kong.

So in any world, people can only run the fastest when they get off work and receive money, and if the two are combined, it can be called a god and ghost!

On the way to the military supply office, Siegfried asked Mu, "What are your plans for the future?"

Mu lifted up the elf egg in his hand, "Go hatch the egg first, then, I plan to find a swordsmanship or swordsmanship instructor."

The deepest impression he had on going out to sea to fight this time was that people are really cheap (swords) and they are invincible, ah no, it is still necessary to practice swordsmanship.

The firing of the old-fashioned flintlock guns of this era is still very unstable. They are often prone to damp jamming in the humid environment at sea, and they are inconvenient to load. In the current era, they are not enough to completely replace the role of cold weapons.

In narrow spaces with limited area such as decks and cabins, swords and weapons are still the mainstream.

So Mu felt that it was necessary to improve his half-baked swordsmanship in the future.

Siegfried laughed when he heard the words, "It's easy to handle. I happen to know a few swordsmanship instructors, and they are all very good. I can introduce them to you then, but in two days, I may need you to do me a favor."

"Okay." Mu Ziran agreed, and asked by the way, "What's the matter?"

Unexpectedly, Siegfried betrayed him.

"I'll tell you later."

Mu didn't care too much.

Then the two parted ways in front of the Quartermaster Office.

As the captain, Siegfried will only be busier than him. Next, he needs to hand in the carp keel and the two frozen corpses with the first officer, review the military exploits, hand over the pirates, and find a way to get rid of the harvest that does not exist in the logbook.

After that, Mu Xian led Corning Si home.

After returning to his villa after more than a month away, Mu saw a warm picture as soon as he entered the living room——

The afternoon sun poured in from the window, reflecting the crystal light on the clean ground that had just been mopped. A slender maid was scrubbing the window frame by the window. The goose yellow maid outfit did not have too many decorations or interesting lace edges, but it had a pure smell that was refreshing.

Seeing him come back, the maid turned around, and the smile on her face instantly bloomed like a lily, calm and gentle.

"Master, you are back."

The afternoon sun was just right, and the house was as clean as new. It looked nothing like the empty house where the owner had left for more than a month. The maid in front of her was smiling brightly but not kitsch. At that moment, Mu felt as if his whole body had been purified in the warm setting sun.

"Well, I'm back." He replied with a smile.

Sure enough, it was an extremely correct choice to help Vanessa at the beginning.

Immediately afterwards, Konings, who had been brought back with Mu, poked his head out from behind him a little embarrassedly, and said hello, "Sister."

"Conings is here too?"

Vanessa looked a little surprised.

Mu waved his hand and said, "Anyway, there are still a lot of guest rooms here. From now on, Cornings will live here together, and you don't have to go back to downtown."

In this era, many maids live directly in the homes of nobles, and only go back on rest days. At present, Mu only employs Vanessa as a servant, and the workload here certainly does not allow her to go home every day. It would be too unreasonable for Cornings to go back to live in the slums alone.

At any rate, this kid had been fighting with him throughout the previous pirate battle. Although his slender arms and legs didn't contribute much output in the end, at least he participated in the whole process.

Upon hearing this, Vanessa thanked him sincerely and fearfully, and then took advantage of Mu's inattention and pulled Conings aside, as if she was reprimanding him for being so ignorant of the rules and causing trouble to the master.

Cornings was wronged the whole time, and no one gave me the right to refuse...

Then Mu handed over the ingredients he brought back to Vanessa, and by the way, he also gave her all the subsidies for going to sea that he received this time, which is equivalent to giving her the right to be a housekeeper.

He might go to sea in the near future, so he really doesn't want to go to the housekeeping market to hire a temporary housekeeper.

Vanessa originally wanted to refuse, but who would have thought that Mu would directly ask three questions.

"Arithmetic meeting? Daily grocery shopping meeting? Accounting meeting?"

Vanessa seemed dumbfounded by the question, and answered in a daze: "Yes..."

"That's fine, then you will be the housekeeper here from now on. In the study upstairs, there are vocabulary books and some enlightenment books, which are all given by the landlord. You can read more when you have nothing to do. If you can learn to read and keep books, you will be a fully qualified housekeeper."

Mu made a quick decision without giving Vanessa a chance to refuse.

And Vanessa obviously didn't understand the truth of being defeated by hesitation. When she came back to her senses, Mu was already sitting at the dining table waiting for the food to be served. She couldn't say anything about her refusal, so she could only obediently go back to the kitchen to cook.

After lunch, Mu asked Conings to take Vanessa to the city for another treatment, and then he went out alone to find someone to consult about hatching eggs.

Facts have proved that his system is not omnipotent, at least when it comes to hatching eggs, the system is powerless, there is not even a countdown to birth, the only thing Mu can know is that the egg is still alive, and when it will hatch, he is completely blind.

In the end, he went around and found a breeding hut in the city. He spent money to hire a lava snail with the characteristics of a flame body, and finally placed the eggs on his hands.

Characteristic: Flame body, the normal body temperature of elves with this characteristic will be higher than that of the same kind, and the temperature of the body surface will be further increased during the battle, and there is a probability of burning the enemy just by contact.

With the daily high body temperature endowed by this characteristic, this type of elf is very suitable for hatching eggs, no matter in the previous game or the current world.

In this way, the lava snail has passed the past two days smoothly, and the good news finally came!
As soon as Mu came to the cultivation hut that day, he saw the boss running out cheerfully to greet him.

"Master Eliak, congratulations, your elf has broken its shell."

Mu hurried to look, and saw a half-broken egg on the side of the lava snail in a corner of the hut. A small emerald green head had already opened the egg shell, and was struggling to climb out of the egg.

The proportion of the head of the newborn little Lalu Lasi looks very large, the size of half an egg, and the emerald green hair is buckled on the head like a pot lid, almost covering most of the face.

There are two red horns on the top of the head, the front and back, which normally stand up in a half-moon shape, but maybe because of the newborn, these two horns are still softly attached to the head and cannot stand up.

Maybe it was because the head was too big and it got stuck when it came out of the shell, and because the hands were too short, little Lalu Lasi's shell breaking seemed a bit unsmooth. After struggling for a long time, only half of the head was squeezed out, and the body still couldn't come out.

Mu looked a little anxious, and couldn't help but want to help this little guy.

But who would have thought that as soon as he stretched out his hand, he heard a bang——

The little Lalulas, who was still unable to get out of the shell, seemed anxious, and screamed fiercely, followed by a muffled sound, and the egg exploded.

Yes, the eggs are fried...

The eggshell shattered and scattered, and a little mucus splashed on Mu's hand.

The lava snail on the side quickly moved aside in fright, with a frightened expression.

The boss of the cultivation house was also very surprised.

"Just now that was - mind power?"

he asked uncertainly.

After running this breeding hut for so many years, this is the first time he has seen an elf that can use an attacking move right after birth, and the power is not bad, the farthest piece of eggshell that was blown away flew to the other corner of the room.

Mu also looked helplessly at the little guy in front of him.

Well, I know you are talented, but you don't have to be so good, right?
Mind breaking the shell, yes, very strong...
